Thoughts About The Toyota Fortuner TRD Sportivo SUV

We're unsure if the Grey paint scheme makes the vehicle look rugged at all. The all new Toyota Fortuner TRD Sportivo SUV looks more luxurious than aggressive. May be a metallic or a matte finish would have helped.

Either way, it is great to see manufacturers taking feedback and implementing it as far as possible. Auto makers are slowly beginning to listen to customers. This is a fantastic way to initiate customer loyalty.
